carguy that picture just gives me the creeps... it still looks so unstable with that huge opening on one side for the jack...just waiting to collapse.

but i suppose one wouldn't be convinced until seeing one in person.

lol at using cinder blocks and forklift.

it's a stand rated to ANSI standards at 4000 lbs. that means a single stand has to support 6000 lbs. wouldn't want to try that with a cinder block.

Sorry kenchan for leaving you out in the cold and not replying. I understand where you're coming from. I've got to tell you that when I went up to the car to touch it I was a little tentative, but I could put my shoulder into it and the car was firmly planted. It was not moving an inch. they're really a very high-tech product. My buddy who bought them is a real geek for new toys. But he researches the pants off of things before he buys. this product has a special aluminum magnesium blend, with variable thicknesses in the walls, Developed in a lab somewhere. That's why it works I guess! cheers
